<p id="46da">We all know about the accelerating pace of change that we are going through. There are those who argue that this change has an exponential curve, that the rate of change is actually doubling in every unit of time. Logically that’s not accurate or provable but it’s a way for us to picture the fact that change is happening more and more quickly. One way this is happening is that fundamental changes in our world are multiplying, a breakthrough in materials science changes computing, a breakthrough in neuroscience leads to new approaches in mental health.</p>



<p id="1f6d">In no small way is PROOF a product of this era of rapid growth and change. We are out to help you understand how all of this change affects your life and more importantly our future together. Our particular concern is generating a positive future, a desirable and thriving future for humanity. My intention is that PROOF emails expose you to the positive future being generated, and how your contribution can help shape it into the kind of future we desire for ourselves and the world. By immersing ourselves in these innovations, you gain a clearer vision of the future and recognize the various ways you can actively participate in making it a reality.</p>



<p id="b2a8">Right now you may be thinking, what can I do about something as big as the future of the world? The answer is everything. Innovations in science, tech, art, education, media, communications, meditation, business, economics, physics, etc. come from the collective consciousness of any one of these areas. The history of simultaneous inventions is full of examples of two or more people inventing the same thing at the same time. For example:</p>



<p id="6024"><strong>Calculus</strong>&nbsp;— Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.</p>



<p id="fde6"><strong>Telephone</strong>&nbsp;— Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray applied for a patent on the same day in 1876.</p>



<p id="a82d"><strong>Radio</strong>&nbsp;— Nikola Tesla, Guglielmo Marconi. Television — Philo Farnsworth and Vladimir Zworykin independently inventing the first electronic television.</p>



<p id="05ae"><strong>Thermometer</strong>&nbsp;— Galileo Galilei and Santorio Santorio.</p>



<p id="1785"><strong>Light Bulb</strong>&nbsp;— Sir Hiram Maxim, Sir Joseph Swan, and Thomas Edison all developed versions of incandescent light bulbs around the same time.</p>



<p id="b200"><strong>Photography</strong>&nbsp;— Louis Daguerre and William Fox Talbot</p>



<p id="5a89">You may wonder why? The explanation lies in one of humanity’s greatest superpowers, synthesis. Given an information rich environment we put two and two together and create something new, some new understanding or approach that both relies on the already present information and builds something completely new out of it.</p>



<p id="18c8">The above inventions are all things that made a positive impact on the future of humanity. There are other terrible inventions that have had a devastating impact on humanity including:</p>



<p id="db84"><strong>The Atomic Bomb</strong>&nbsp;— During World War II, both the Allies and the Axis powers were working on developing nuclear weapons. The Allies’ Manhattan Project, however, succeeded first in 1945. The Soviet Union, working independently, developed their own atomic bomb by 1949.</p>



<p id="da79"><strong>Chemical Weapons</strong>&nbsp;— Germany, France, and Britain all began developing and using chemical warfare agents like chlorine and mustard gas around the same time.</p>



<p id="15b1"><strong>Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs)</strong>&nbsp;— The United States and the Soviet Union were both working on ICBMs during the Cold War.</p>



<p id="b488"><strong>Biological Weapons</strong>&nbsp;— United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and the Soviet Union.</p>



<p id="dae8"><strong>Automatic Firearms</strong>&nbsp;— Maxim gun, Browning Automatic Rifle, and various models of machine guns.</p>



<p id="1181">History would argue that these inventions, just like the ones I mentioned earlier, were created in response to the collective conditions of their time. Yet the impact of these perfected killing technologies in terms of lives lost and their ability to harm life at scale, makes them things that we wish we had never invented.</p>



<p id="1f08">Now back to you, and me and what we have to do with these kinds of inventions. As I talked about in&nbsp;<a href="https://medium.com/@TheGenerativeFuturist/you-are-what-you-attend-to-1e1c310b8c49"><strong>You are what you attend to</strong></a>&nbsp;who we are is directly related to what we think about and give our attention to. This works on both the individual and the collective level. We are collectively what we attend to, as I am what I attend to.This has lead to some really bizarre inventions like Tik-Tok a place where people try and condense video based content into a very tiny container to atomize attention. It was hilarious watching my wife trying to follow a recipe for a tahini beet dressing from a 60 second video clip.</p>



<p id="4b56">If you think about it for a moment, Tik Tok is a natural evolution of social media. And it has a direction towards more and more sensational, more and more shorter clips. It changes both the way we process information and the way that we create information. We are what we create. Or you might consider that we create our future selves by the things we fill our days with today. This is our contribution to evolution and many satirists have poked fun at the future of humanity where we are confined to floating chairs with a steady stream of meaningless content plugged into our brains.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p id="863e"><strong>Seriously, we are in charge of our own destiny as a species.</strong></p>
</blockquote>



<p id="c763">If we want a future that is desirable. If we want to evolve to be more ethical, loving and kind, we can do so. All that is required is that a sufficient number of us focus our attention, time and work on the steps that lead us there, while at the same time governing and prohibiting technologies and businesses that cause damage to people and the earth.</p>



<p id="343e">You can learn about the ideas that have us head us towards a thriving future in PROOF. You can consciously take ownership of your attention and focus on the things that elevate life, that inspire you towards positive action in the world.</p>



<p id="4313">My hope for you is that you discover your gifts, that you orientate yourself towards your purpose, and that you make a contribution to the world you want to live in.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="089f">If we all do this, then imagine all of the great things that will come about from our collective consciousness.</h2>



<p id="79a2">In the meantime, we’ll be looking for PROOF of a thriving future for humanity.</p>

<p id="8514">We are in the midst of a self discovery revolution driven by the confluence of precision definitions for neurodiversity, gender, sexual preference, race, genetic ancestry and epigenetic triggers with the keen awareness that seems to be ubiquitous for Gen Z. They have been bravely adopting new ways to self identify and bringing us all along for the ride — although there are more than a few who are going kicking and screaming.</p>



<p id="d076">Here at PROOF we believe in the dictum, “Know Thyself” that is carved above the entrance to the Apollo temple in Delphi. Know thyself as an absolute, as in: What I am made of? What am I like in different situations? And what can I be in the future? In this day and age that includes our bodies, our brains and our mental and emotional states. Even if that is confusing to you dear reader, it is a good thing that we know. From knowing comes growth and eventually evolution.</p>



<p id="6364">In terms of neurodivergence this dawning has been growing over the past 40 years. We have learned about the numerous types of dyslexia; phonological, visual, rapid automatic naming, double deficit, auditory processing disorder, and my brand — dysgraphia. Yes I am dyslexic, I can’t spell and can’t tell if words are missing in phrases.</p>



<p id="5626">When I was young we were “hyperactive” if we couldn’t&nbsp;<em>pay attention</em>&nbsp;(there is so much wrong with that phrase). Then in high school we moved up to ADD. And then eventually today’s ADHD. The spectrum of ADHD includes, inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive and combined — and ways that our brain process that have nothing to do with attention or hyperactivity, time blindness, hyperfocus, special interests and fixations. It turns out that although I remain undiagnosed that I am not inattentive, and am no longer hyperactive-impulsive. Looking back, it would have been so much easier on me, my teachers and my parents, especially in parent teacher conferences if everyone had had these distinctions.</p>



<p id="d132">Over the past 10 years we have seen a parallel deepening of the understanding of autism. The old Rain-Man stereotype of autism is a crude and unfair depiction of the uniqueness of each autistic brain. There are few models that help us understand the spectrum from Autism Spectrum Disorder. These models track between 5 and 12 areas. A simple one includes a measure of: executive function, sensory processing, repetitive behaviours, motor skills, perseverative thinking, social awareness, verbal &amp; nonverbal communication and information processing.</p>

<p id="dfb5">The image doesn’t come with a guide to the experience of a divergent measure in any one of these areas. What is very important to know is that divergence in any one area means that normal everyday interactions are vastly more taxing on the ASD individual. Looking over these myself, I can clearly see areas where I am likely on the spectrum. In the coming months I am going to have a diagnostic evaluation done on ADHD and ASD to discover and learn more about how my brain functions. When I know more I’ll let you know.</p>



<p id="ba1b">At 57, you might wonder what good it would do to have this kind of diagnosis. Afterall I am a generative futurist, a highly successful entrepreneur, award winning film director and editor, a philosopher and a spiritual teacher — doesn’t that mean that even if I have these things it doesn’t matter. Ironically it may actually be that I have these things that I am successful the exact way that I am. Under the curtain of this success you will find that I didn’t do any of it conventionally. Without knowing exactly what we were doing, my wife and I built a life that works with neurodivergence. I always joked that it was a good thing I was an entrepreneur because I was basically unhirable by a corporation.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p id="7522" style="font-size:25px"><strong>Ultimately I am doing the diagnosis so I can better know myself. And so my children can understand their genetic inheritance from my strange brain.</strong></p>
</blockquote>



<p id="a622">One thing is true about my life. I am fulfilled and happy with my life. I love the crazy directions it has turned and I am excited by my future. While this is affected by my neurodivergence, it is not the whole story. Our brains and our identity are not fixed. My ADHD symptoms started fading once I started meditation and martial arts. My social discomfort and awkwardness shifted when I started to see every social interaction as an opportunity to practice my purpose.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p id="1d9a" style="font-size:25px"><strong>My purpose is to illuminate this human life, giving insights into our true nature, teaching people to freely give their gifts to bring about a thriving future for humanity.</strong></p>
</blockquote>



<p id="1b98">My hyperfixation is now targeted at easing suffering and restoring joy to the center of people’s lives. I’ve put all of these divergent qualities, ones that have caused me pain in the past, to good use for good causes and that has made all of the difference. Yes I suffer just like everyone. I am confused from time to time, but the illumination of my own life and journey puts something wonderful in the center of any discomfort I may be asked to endure.</p>



<p id="f561">Getting really practical now, I want you to know how important it is to know yourself. To explore all of your parts and patterns. To understand the instrument that your brain and body are. To see your physical gifts and your limitations.</p>



<p id="c652">Then and only then can you truly begin to stretch your wings and learn to fly the self you inherited. You can optimize your life for your strengths and find work-arounds for things that don’t work so well. You can build a life for yourself that works. I know that it may seem hard at times but the edges do wear off and like the stone in the river you soften, round and polish.</p>



<p id="ad67">Then once you have built a comfortable life you can consciously disrupt it and dare to create a new life for yourself. If you have great fortune, perseverance and heart you can begin to live life as a work of art, a dance in flow, a river rather than a stone. Your identity then softens and wears away like an old sweater, threadbare yet still loved. This I hope for you and I know you have it in you.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="8c81">We are all different, gradations across many spectrums — no two alike.</h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="75ec">We all suffer and have long dark nights of the soul.</h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="0581">There is also love, joy and being moved for no apparent reason.</h2>



<p id="26c0">When you walk through life, please know that for all your uniqueness, for all of your typical traits and your divergent traits, for all of your scars and your laurels, we are all human, worthy of love, compassion and all deserve a chance to have fulfillment and happiness in this life. This is a vision of what we can see when we come to know ourselves and come to know one another. Won’t you please imagine that with me.</p>



<p id="7b67">And later today when you are feeling that you are not enough, wrap your own wings around yourself and say, “You belong. You are loved. You are love.” Or you see someone struggling, even if you don’t understand, why or what their experience in life is, please wrap your wings around them and say,</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p id="8297"><strong>“You belong. You are loved. You are love.”</strong></p>
</blockquote>



<p id="589e"><em>This one is dedicated to all my weird friends.</em></p>



<p id="79a2">In the meantime, we’ll be looking for PROOF of a thriving future for humanity.</p>

<p>COP26 &#8211; a heady melange of triumphant world leaders, angry dissatisfied sign hoisting activists, fat-cat-petro-lobbyists, back room meeting system changers, groupies and real working diplomats and scientists who know that this should be much easier than this, considering that the house is on fire.  </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>It’s enough to give you the worst hangover of your life in exchange for a party that never really seems to get started.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>The 26th edition of the UN Climate Change Conference is an ongoing global exercise in cognitive bias. For 26 years scientists have been giving us accurate models of the impact of climate change and how to avoid the most catastrophic of those impacts &#8211; CUT CARBON AND METHANE NOW! It&#8217;s dead simple, still we get timelines and commitments from leaders that kick the can down the road in terms of making hard choices and getting humanity on the road to regeneration. Politicians and diplomats &#8220;do what they can&#8221; never diverging from the limited scope of actions. If their hands aren&#8217;t tied then they act as if they are.</p>



<p>Every year the conference has laid bare the brutal politics of tribalism. Each country represented works to get the best deal it can. It&#8217;s like negotiating where to put your chair on the deck of the Titanic to get the best view of the sea. And worse yet it&#8217;s a slow rolled stage play, scripted months before the actual event. We learned this week that the US and China are going to &#8220;ramp up cooperation tackling climate change&#8221;. This surprise announcement came at the end of ten months of negotiating. No commitments to targets or policies or well anything but the afore mentioned ramping up of cooperation. Ten months to agree to announce that they had an agreement to cooperate, something that any rational person might have assumed given wide scale distraction the climate crisis is bringing to us all.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s both clear that the UN and the Climate Change Conference are inadequate tools to help us deal with the climate crisis, and that the <meta charset="utf-8">UN and the Climate Change Conference are the only global tools that we have to do the job. It&#8217;s enough to have you running stark naked and mad over the Scottish Highlands looking for way out of the hall of mirrors.</p>



<p>This editorial is being released a few days before the closing of the conference and I hope that I will be proved wrong and lambasted for my lack of belief in the process. But none of that really matters. We have no choice but to get this right and take the clear steps that must be taken. The only question is what will the cost of inaction or inadequate coordinated global action  be? The answer to that ranges from human extinction to a rough hundred years on the planet. </p>



<p>Now that that is cleared up, I want to acknowledge the scientists, diplomats, <meta charset="utf-8">bureaucrats, activists, indigenous youth leaders, press agents, celebrities, CEOs and anyone who has had a hand in creating policy, targets or actions that lead us to achieving the agreed upon 2016 Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5<meta charset="utf-8"><strong>°</strong> C. Thank you for your work and service on behalf of the rest of us who are trying to figure it all out.</p>



<p>This issue is dedicated to helping you do just that, figure it out. You will get an idea of what is needed, what is being done and what might help us bridge the gap. We are very excited by our <a href="https://player.captivate.fm/episode/73b17e34-5281-4ecc-8362-d49d6c6e1ff3/">podcast</a> interview with Kim Stanley Robinson who lays out a futuristic vision of a UN based agency that is responsible for the rights of future generations in regards to global climate policy, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50998056-the-ministry-for-the-future">The Ministry for the Future</a>.    </p>



<p>We hope that in our new PROOF in ACTION feature will help you to move beyond understanding into action in your own life, oriented to ending the climate crisis and generating a thriving future for humanity.</p>



<p>We believe it&#8217;s the only game in town, and the best ever cure for a COP26 hangover.</p>

<p>Welcome to the new home of PROOF at proofzine.com.&nbsp; PROOF of a Thriving Future started one year ago as an email update on news that provided proof that there are people and projects that are taking action that are generating a thriving future. At Issue number 16 we moved the newsletter onto the internet as Bold.ly NOW’s blog.&nbsp; By issue 34 it was clear that you, our readers wanted more, so we set about building PROOF as a standalone magazine – hence proofzine.com.</p>



<p>Over the coming months we will be adding more content areas and guest writers.&nbsp; We are very excited about our new column PROOF in ACTION where in every issue we give you a concise list of actions you can take to align with and bring about a thriving future.</p>

We will be digging deep into his new book The Ministry for the Future.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>We will also begin a series of transformational/educational conversations with the name Bold.ly YOU, reflecting on how to see and realize a future.&nbsp; Tune into these conversations if you are looking to discover your purpose, design a thriving future project or get into action on an area of life that is important to you.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>In his 93 years, Attenborough has visited every continent on the globe, exploring the wild places of the planet and documenting the living world in all its variety and wonder. But during his lifetime, Attenborough has also seen first-hand the monumental scale of humanity&#8217;s impact on nature.  With stunning cinematography and a story that exposes the impact that man has had on the natural world, this is a must watch film for anyone who cares about the planet.</p>

<p>Paul Hawken&#8217;s <em>Regeneration</em>&nbsp;is a radical new approach to the climate crisis, one that weaves justice, climate, biodiversity, and human dignity into a seamless tapestry of action, policy, and transformation that can end the climate crisis in one generation. It is the first book to describe and define the burgeoning regeneration movement spreading rapidly throughout the world.</p>



<p>The purpose of the book and the project is to end the climate crisis in one generation. Ending the crisis does not complete the challenge of global warming. That is a century-long commitment. Ending the crisis means that by 2030 collective action by humanity will have reduced total greenhouse gas emissions by 45 to 50 percent. At this time, we are going backward and increasing emissions. Regeneration is an inclusive and effective strategy compared to combating, fighting, or mitigating climate change. Regeneration creates, builds, and heals. Regeneration is what life has always done, we are life, and that is our focus. It includes how we live and what we do—everywhere. We have a common interest and that interest can only be served when we come together.</p>

<p>Tune in to the Boldy Now Show featuring Kim Stanley Robinson, the Hugo and Nebula-winning author of the Mars Trilogy. He is known as a realistic, science-based highly-literary science fiction author with over 20 books published. Stan&#8217;s work often focuses on themes like sustainability, economic &amp; social justice, climate change, and speculative futures. </p>



<p>In this podcast, we discuss these themes covered in Stan’s atypical sci-fi novel, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50998056-the-ministry-for-the-future">The Ministry for the Future</a>. Stan uses the book to demonstrate a vision of a new future for humanity and investigates what it might take to survive and transcend the climate crisis.&nbsp;</p>

Replace it with a bike, e-bike, public transport and occasional car sharing or car rental.  If this is not possible, then reduce your car usage.  If you currently drive five days a week, commit to reduce to two or three days a week.  Public or shared transport makes a big difference in emissions. </span></li>

<p>&#8220;A la mode&#8221;, &#8220;modisch&#8221;, &#8220;alla moda&#8221;, &#8220;fashionable&#8221; &#8211; up to date with current style or trend. FASHION. We have all been trained to try and keep up with the current colors, cuts and styles. We feel good when we are in fashion and awkward at best when we are out.</p>



<p>We&#8217;ve been taught to never judge a book by its cover, while trying to adopt coverings that &#8220;make a good impression&#8221;, quite the contradiction. So we dress, we dress well, we dress down and we dress for the occasion.</p>



<p>The fashion industry knows that the more we care about our looks the more clothing they sell. They trained us to seasonal looks, and then they revved up the cycle and created fast fashion where style changes every few weeks. And we consume and consume and consume mountains of inexpensive clothing that makes us feel great for a moment.</p>



<p>Dancing on the end of this string we lose our ability to be confident in the indelible self, the enduring self.</p>



<p>If this is not bad enough, fast and cheap clothing has created mountains of waste by over production and disposal of out of date styles.</p>



<p>Our obsession with fast fashion is toxic.</p>



<p>Still, we all do want to express ourselves, to celebrate our uniqueness with our clothes and costumes. There is nothing wrong with that but it&#8217;s a fundamental fallacy that we need to follow a brand to do that. The rise of second hand fashion shows us that we can engage in our personal style and expression without being on the fashion hamster wheel.</p>



<p>Thinking through the idea of a growing second hand fashion industry, it&#8217;s clear that unlike the products of fast fashion where clothes are made as cheaply as possible, a well made, good wearing piece of clothing can be resold again and again, creating a cycle of earnings for second hand clothing retailers without the negative environmental impacts.</p>



<p>Who knew that one of the ways to fight the climate crisis would be to buy quality second hand clothing, and then sell it on when we are done with it. The good news is that many people are waking up to this idea. Quality and sustainability are suddenly fashionable and that is a trend we all should follow.</p>



<p>In this weeks PROOF we will explore sustainable fashion and the ways that you can shift your dollars from toxic consumption to a closed loop cycle of virtue that gives us a vast amount of freedom to really be yourself.</p>



<p>We hope you enjoy this weeks PROOF. Please share it with your friends.</p>

<p>What is the future of fashion and where is the fashion industry heading to? What kind of future do fashion pioneers think of and how do they try to change the way of thinking about fashion? A documentary about the future and a new way of approach to fashion.</p>



<p>Backlight shows five future fashion pioneers who make their industry future-proof by experimenting with new fabrics, reuse and hi-tech design. Their &#8216;fashion of the future&#8217; goes far beyond sustainability alone. They also force us to look differently at beauty and the role that clothing plays in our lives.</p>
